INDIANAPOLIS — San Diego men’s golf has received an at-large selection to the 2026 NCAA Tournament and is headed to the postseason for the sixth consecutive year, the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Committee announced on Wednesday afternoon.
The Toreros will participate in a 54-hole NCAA regional tournament hosted by Oregon State at Trysting Tree Golf Club from Monday, May 18 through Wednesday, May 18 in which they are seeded seventh.
The top five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each NCAA regional will advance to the NCAA finals, held at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in nearby Carlsbad, California from Friday, May 29 through Thursday June 3.
USD heard its name called during the NCAA selection show after a 2025-2026 season in which it won the R.E.L. Invitational on its home course, finished first in stroke play at the WCC Championship — where graduate student Ian Maspat captured the individual title — placed third at the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational, and earned fourth-place finishes at The Tindall, The Preserve Collegiate, and the Thunderbird Collegiate.
Two Toreros secured All-WCC honors in head coach Evan Emerick’s second season at the helm, with both Maspat and freshman Reed Arnaldo earning All-WCC First Team selections.
San Diego has now qualified for the NCAA Tournament in every season since 2020-2021.
